1. Thanks for posting this.

I never would have considered using pumpkin/squash in this way, as the base for a dip, but it makes perfect sense. I'll have to try it, it sounds like it would be very good. I'd just cut back on the garlic, 8 cloves is way too much for my personal taste, but to each his own.

3. Eight cloves of raw garlic

would pretty much overwhelm any other flavor. Roasted garlic, OTOH, would give the dip a completely different character.

2. I might have to try this one.

You can't go wrong with cumin, chile, and tahini.
